Google+: Reasons for Failure

A

One would have to have inside knowledge from Google but probably a combination of factors

No major differentiating feature vs. Facebook- weak positioning

Lack of focus, no upper management buy-in and few resources compared to other ventures

Late entrant-never caught up…Metcalfe’s Law basically says the value of a network grows the more people connected to your network (e.g., every time you double the number of active users on your network, you quadruple the networks value)

Late to make it mobile centered

Some Google properties just not well designed and often aside from technical talent poor managerial, usability and product mgt. talent e.g., the 2016-18 redesign of Google

Ads was very poorly done

Q

Technical aspects of Podcasting

A

You can put the audio file on your website but it’s usually a huge file (e.g. 500 MBs)

Best to use a podcast host and have an embedded url on your site, audio can be played from your website but the audio file is actually with a podcast host to avoid slow page loads, monthly charges ~$5-20month

Voice is everything, invest in high quality mic and headphones- research them

Can be put on I-Tunes but not hosted it’s a directory which is important as key discovery place
